abstract
Conjoined twins refer to two fetuses that are born physically connected to each other. They develop when an early embryo separates in a partial manner to form two individuals. The present case report records similar findings in which a pluriparous murrah buffalo was presented with dystocia at full term of gestation period. After proper history, initial treatment and stabilization of the animal, per-vaginal examination was performed, which revealed one forelimb and three hindlimbs in birth passage along with four more limbs as well as duplication of other fetal structures. Findings were collectively suggestive of some twin fetal monstrosity and an immediate decision to relieve dystocia through an emergency cesarean section was taken. Caesarean section was performed using oblique Paramedian approach, which resulted in the successful delivery of dicephalus tetrabrachius tetrapus sternopagus dicaudatus conjoined twin fetal monster. Animal made an uneventful recovery after post-operative treatment.
